LITTLE TIME/LOTS DONE

Sometimes things just work out.  Heated up the hot pipe to bend the purfling for the rosette on Lloyd's #145.  While the pipe washeating up I sanded down the maple sides and the back to final thickness.  By the time that was done the pipe was hot and I bent an installed the rosette.  Then, because the pipe was hot I decided to bend the sides.

And I got an excellent bend.  Tiger stripe Maple can be tough to bend  but this went beautifully.

And here is the Bear Claw Sitka Spruce soundboard with the rosette nicely installed and the entire top sanded down to final thickness.  A bit later I cut out the sound hole, it is now ready for the tone bars.

And here is the book matched back, thinned down and ready for it braces.
